ATI Catalyst 9.3 Driver: Performance Express-Test. Page 4

March is here and the graphics division of Advanced Micro Devices released a new version of ATI Catalyst drivers. As usual, we performed a quick blitz-test aimed at revealing the performance improvement delivered by the new driver version.

The average performance remained the same even with the new ATI driver, but we did detect slight increase in the minimal speed in 1280x1024 resolution. However, taking into account that we used Fraps in the manual mode for testing, it could be some accidental fluctuation, because we can’t physically repeat the test run exactly in this case and multiple factors may affect the final result, such as random HDD requests, for instance.

We didn’t detect any differences between Catalyst 9.2 and 9.3 versions in this game besides a slight increase in the minimal performance.
